I'm sure to meant it , but it's 500 posts. That will happen inside a week.
I keep four aw 18650's in rotation, recently picked up two of the sony vtc40's. Really liking them so far, they last me longer than the 1600mah aw's and seem to stay in the higher range of charge longer than the aw's.
so maybe it is just me, but I just built one of those newer "macro coils" at 3mm. I swear I cannot tell the difference between the micro, or really any of the coil sizes for that matter.
I will say it is easier to build ones that are bigger than the small mini's

Lol, YB was the only one who became slightly aggressive. He may be the oldest
I successfully woke them all up though
That's right. I'll sit here with my dentures, my depends, and my walker and out race you.

Lol. 10char
3mm, pretty big for being macro isn't it ? The current coil in my Origen is .8mm.
GVC Update: I can't put the stuff down! There is just something to it that I can't quite put into words. I vape another custard too that I always keep 120mL on board, but GVC has a special note to it on the exhale. A special twist to the vanilla. Its flippin dreamy!
Do you hear what I am saying!!!??

That's why I try to keep my words soft and sweet, in case I must eat them later

Yeah! I'm right there with you Yankee...out earn you, too.

GP-Spheroid : Qorax's Bongo Coil build!
~A pictorial on "split" Microcoil & S'n'C Cotton Yarn build on my fav Spheroid...
STEP-1: GETTING READY:
Disassembled the Spheroid and Cleaned up.
All parts dried and laid out, for work.
STEP-2: MAKING THE MICROCOIL:
Coil wrapped on a toothpick (my usual style). 28AWG Kanthal.
Coil split using two toothpicks. Brought in parallel and held tight for a while.
Coil heated and squeezed.
Unwrapped the last two rounds on each section. Done so to have a 'tighter' coil since the last one or two wraps are usually loose. Metered at 1.2Ω. Then placed on the Spheroid's deck using tweezers.
Bongo-coil fastened on the terminals. Note the coil is now sitting in line with the lower thumb nut (not the right place, see further).
Terminalled ends trimmed and test fired.
STEP-3: INSERTING THE WICK:
First pass thru. S'n'C yarn inserted in one coil using a doubled-over piece of Kanthal.
Under pass the yarn over the other side.
Second pass thru. The yarn is inserted into the next coil, from bottom. Resulting in a "U" wick.
Wick ends trimmed. Note the coil is now pulled-up to be in line with the higher thumb nut (better location). And there's a 1mm gap between the deck's air-channel and the wick (not enough, very tight draw, see further).
Wick cut to size. Maintaining around 15mm length each side. And juiced up.
STEP-4: RECHECKING AND SYSTEM ASSEMBLY:
Fired up the build√
Bell section opened, fresh fluff inserted and tank filled.
Final look of the Wick & Coil. Note there's now a 2mm gap between the wick and the deck's air-channel (3mm between the coil and the air-channel). Offers better draw. Then parted the wick ends into a "V" before assembling the tank section.
STEP-5: TEST RESULTS
First test puff. Very tight draw. This is why / where I went back, opened the tank section and pulled-up the wick & coil for a 2mm gap.
Second test puff. Wow! Fogged up the house√
Thus Qorax's Bongo-Coil ~ A build with some 'wow factor'!
BOTTOMLINE:
Built it yesterday, it's now 24-hrs and two tanks thru, vaping my 3rd, so can genuinely opine on the build. It vapes very well. Awesome VTF for a 1.2Ω coil with 5-wraps each section (total 10-wraps) on freshly charged 14500 AW-IMR. Replaced batteries between 2.5 to 3-hrs. Tested on 18500 as well, between 3.8V to 4.2V on my Provari, gr8 performance. Also tested against 18350 on my LUX and now rocking it with 18650 on my Paps-X... Bam! Purrfect! No wicking issues under any setup. And fortunately, no sagging of the wick as well. The "U" placement of the wick seems to work just right. Good & recommended setup√

More like boozy eggs to me...lettin' her steep a few...
They are best stored at around 40% charge for longer periods. For short storage do not worry about it but, I dont recommend full drain.
Remember recharging before the battery fully drains will extend the device lifespan dramatically.
Amps, devices, rotation, heat, extreme cold, etc. all play a part when the time comes.
I date my batteries when I put them in use on the outside with a Sharpie.
Watts really drives the battery usage more so than ohms, amps or anything else.
Good info here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected-icr.html
They are in stock though...Vcoupe if he does sell, is a retail seller
Vaporcraze - Great vendor.
